MECHS: RTHS & Fluid-Structure Interaction Report Posted

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

Dear Colleagues:

The *MECHS Subcommittee on RTHS in Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI)
Applications* has generated a report on the wide range of applications in
FSI where RTHS is playing a role. In the past, RTHS has been mainly used in
earthquake-related studies. Recently, there have been several calls to
expand the development of RTHS to also encompass Fluid-Structure
Interaction (FSI) engineering applications. FSI research areas include,
among others, wind-structure interaction (e.g. aero-dynamic behavior),
wind-induced vibrations (e.g. aero-elastic behavior) of slender structures,
active wave absorption, advanced control for marine renewable energy
(energy harvesting), behavior of marine structures (e.g. floating wind
turbines, etc), and tsunami loading on structures.

A committee RTHS for FSI application has been established within the MECHS
community, led by Prof. Amal Elawady at Florida International University.
The committee brings together various expertise from FSI and RTHS fields in
an attempt to expand HS/RTHS capabilities to the application of FSI
engineering fields.
